Why education serves as a tool of liberation for refugees
In short: Makhtoum Abdalla shares his journey from displacement in Sudan to life in a Darfur refugee camp. He explains why education is not just a privilege, but a fundamental right that empowers children to steer their own futures.
Living in the Otash camp in Darfur, Abdalla advocates for a model of education that goes beyond basic literacy. He argues that children must be taught specific skills that allow them to become "captains of their destiny."
The talk highlights how education functions as a mechanism for liberation for those living in refugee camps, providing a pathway toward self-determination and agency.
